Now we all just KNOW that the world's going to end! (Flagg quit smoking)

Well, it really wasn't my intention, but my fraking tobacco seeds just didn't want to sprout. So after a lot of investigation about the subject, I ordered one of those ecigarettes. The DSE-901.

Well, last Saturday evening was my last actual smoke. Been very pleased with the ecig I have. It's a kinda sad feeling -a friend I've known for almost 30 years is going away. Obama will NOT be getting more tax dollars from my bulk tobacco purchases when I rolled my own cigarettes.

However...

The FDA is coming after ecigs now.

[RandallFlagg]

If a very large segment of the world's population of former smokers have to go back to smoking again because of the government's nannystatist intrusions....

I promise all of you on the pufflist that I will never become the tobaccophobic type that we all know so well.

And, I promise you as well, SheLion. This old hippy Flagg's still a good guy.

[RandallFlagg]

Ping for all.

Congrats, I did the same thing for the same reason. I am on day 31 after smoking for 23 years.

My last was March, 1986. I quit cold turkey.
It took five years before I quit reaching in my shirt pocket for a Winston.

[RandallFlagg]

You’re using ecigs, too?

[al baby]

I never smoked it would cut into my heroin money

[GeorgiaDawg32]

let me know how that e-cig is working out..I’m thinkin about gettin one myself..

I’m of the same mind..no more tax $$ to “the one” for his social programs..

[warpsmith]

congrats! these things are the best! have a 510 model now (yeti) and am waiting on the new prodigy. cannot recommend these highly enough!

Winston Lights were my preference. I’ve been stopped for several years, but depending upon near future ‘things’ I may just go back to enjoying them.

[joesjane]

no...I don’t know what that is but I did quit. Now I feel like I’m not one of the cool kids. What are ecigs?

[KoRn]

Congradulations!!!

I’m going to be quitting very soon too. It’s time for a tax cut!!!!!

The money saved will buy lots of ammo.

[Viking2002]

Flagg, ya wimp. The Sedition will make me quit when they pry the last Marlboro from my cold, dead hands! LOL (Or when I hork up a lung, whichever comes first.) In case you didn't know, I'm running for president by popular demand, and tobacco is going to be declared the new national cash crop. Now roll it and smoke it, because the tax offset I plan on giving tobacco farmers will come directly from the budget downsizing I'll implement when I dissolve the Department of Homeland Security, reactivate the good old, trustworthy Department of Civil Defense, and let the military defend us by doing what they do best - killing the enemy and blowing things up!

You got my vote.

>just go back

The irascible barrister in London who was the model for Rumpole of the Bailey started up again when the jihad on tabak hit full gear in Not so Merrie England.

[wombtotomb]

you got my vote :)

Why do you HATE children?

[RandallFlagg]

My 901 is great.
If you get that model, make sure and get a good amount of atomizers, batteries and cartridges. My original parts are still going strong, but I read that it’s always good to have backup gear with you.

[MHGinTN]

I did so enjoy Rumpole of the Bailey. Did you ever watch the BBC production of the antiques dealer? That was one of my favorites, right behind Dr. Who—the Tom Baker sequences, mostly.

I went all out and ordered Trog's Screwdriver. Should be here soon.
Funny thing is that my ex wife wants one, too. She took a couple of drags from my 901 and just loved it.

Commonly referred to as a, "Personal Vaporizer."
It heats up a fluid against a wick and generates the signature throat hit and cloud like a tobacco cigarette, but it's harmless water vapor.
